I know, I'm cutting it a bit fine,
but I've just managed to finish my monthly stamp!

So here we have the design
August Stamp from Lizzie Kate
Stitched on 28ct Britney white evenweave
2 over 2, using the recommended DMC threads

Finished off (ever so quickly) as an ornament
I've used the provided little buttons for the centre of the sunflowers,
gingham ribbon and green felt from my stash
Apologies for the little bit of fabric that are showing on the pictures,
I was trying to be quick and forgot to remove them...

I'll be back tomorrow with another post
(I know, 3 in 3 days! What's going on??)
about the Tutti Frutti Swap
Toodles,
Mii

Hello, I'm back!
Apologies for being quiet recently but my
sister and her family came to visit and she deserves my full attention.
I had to spoil her as I sadly don't see her often ☺﻿
oOo
I have to put my hands up and admit I have been a little bit naughty!
A few weeks ago Sharon from Shebafudge very sweetly sent me a little surprise.
I have been looking for this mug since I saw it advertised in a cross stitch magazine.
Sadly I never managed to find one!!
Well Sharon thought of me!
I use it a lot now that summer seems to have departed!
Thank you Sharon, big hugs for you xx
oOo
The postman has been very kind too the past few days as I have received
a little RAK from Italy.
Elena from BusyHandsCraft... my craft blog is in the RAK blog I belong to
and randomly picked me to win this cute little chart!
It is Winter Fobs from Heart in Hand Needleart
And I can't wait to get started... eventually :D
There was a little pincushion handmade by Elena and some yummy teas too
Thank you…

I have just joined the
Halloween Ornament Exchange
organised by Kim over at Wisdom with Needle and Thread
I couldn't resist the temptation.
Come and join the fun, you are all welcome!
Check out this POST for info & registration, you have until the 22nd Aug to make your mind up

Well I have been so sidetracked this week.
I was eager to start something new and was desperate for something... but what??
I really couldn't decide what to work on.
As a result, I have started several pieces and I'm still not sure with any of them..

Hello wonderful stitchy friends!!
Many thanks for playing along in my giveaway.
There was quite a few of you who specified they wished to take part,
so as mentioned, I randomly picked a name and
the winner is.....

Singing In The Rain
from Madame Chantilly
Stitched 2 over 2 on
pearl grey 28 ct Zweigart evenweave Brittney fabric,
using DMC threads as per the key
My model was finished as yet again a little cushion
using fabric & trim from my stash
Apologies for the poor picture,
but I took it when it was raining (how appropriate!!)

I love the design and really enjoyed working on this project.
However, I am so not happy with my finish! Not my best at all...

oOo

Now, time to make someone happy!!
How about giving the original chart away??
